This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $100,000 to Cornell University for a 3-year project from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028. The project focuses on the design of secure account management tools and frameworks to improve personal account security and foster safer digital ecosystems for individuals facing targeted attacks. The research agenda has four main aims: 1) understanding the experiences of attack targets, support professionals, and abusive adversaries; 2) cataloguing existing account management tools and analyzing their abusability; 3) offering new account management tool designs to improve detection and investigation of illicit account access; and 4) creating empirically-grounded interventions to restore digital safety for attack targets and deter technology abuse. The project aims to contribute new analytical frameworks, design patterns, and direct interventions to address the growing problem of unauthorized access to personal online accounts.
